/**
 * 

Generates random {@code String}s.

* *

Caveat: Instances of {@link Random}, upon which the implementation of this * class relies, are not cryptographically secure.

* *

RandomStringUtils is intended for simple use cases. For more advanced * use cases consider using Apache Commons Text's * * RandomStringGenerator instead.

* *

The Apache Commons project provides * Commons RNG dedicated to pseudo-random number generation, that may be * a better choice for applications with more stringent requirements * (performance and/or correctness).

* *

Note that private high surrogate characters are ignored. * These are Unicode characters that fall between the values 56192 (db80) * and 56319 (dbff) as we don't know how to handle them. * High and low surrogates are correctly dealt with - that is if a * high surrogate is randomly chosen, 55296 (d800) to 56191 (db7f) * then it is followed by a low surrogate. If a low surrogate is chosen, * 56320 (dc00) to 57343 (dfff) then it is placed after a randomly * chosen high surrogate.
